the social order and military strength and
financial credit of Italy grew stronger every
year. He has been succeeded 10y an able
man. There is a quality of strength in the
speeches and in tn. action at the new
Italian Premier which it is i%Inp0SSi-
ble, even for those who dislike him, both
rs Radical and as q man of pleasure, not
to admire. He speaks as the Minister of
a great State, and not as an intriguer. In
his speech of Tuesday. for instance, at the
Royal Theatre OF Turin, which was adj
dressed not only to Italy, but to the whole
world, he describes the position Of Italy
with II frank resolution such as Europe
has hitherto hardly expected from Italian
dlplOmaCIStS, who, since the time of CaVOur

with France, hints that the defeat of
France by Italy is as possible as the de
feat of Italy by France, and then says that
victory or defeat in such Il contest would
be equally fatal to the liberties of both.
He loved and admired France; but Italy
was the ally Of the Central Powers and OF
England. In other, but scarcely palmer
words, SignOr Crispi desires 10 war with
France, but warns France, on her side
also, against desiring one. That is new

Italy is strong only through alliances, still

AN IMPORTANT ACQUISITION.


On Wednesday Mr.. d. H. Buckman,
an extensive fine stock-raiser and breed
er of the Northwest, concluded the pur-
chase of Mr.. F. S. H. Reynolds fine farm
just west of the French Broad, within
three miles of the city, which he will
convert into a model stock farm. Mr..
Buckman has spent several summers in
our city and section, and regar Is our
climate and other advantages as offering
the greatest inducement for such enter
Prises. He will bring from his Western
ranch fine horses and cattle, all register
ed, and proposes soon to nave one of the
best herds in all the South. We not only
wee m Mr. BI cSmaH. hut heartily wish
him all success Such enterprises as
this will make our country rich indeed.

they would not be willing to spend SO
